A global supply chain is a dynamic and efficient worldwide network when a company purchases or uses goods or services from overseas. It involves people, information, processes, and resources involved in the production, handling and distribution of materials and finished products or providing a service to the customer. The supply chain affects a product’s entire lifecycle, from the planning stages to the sale. Therefore, a company must be able to find the materials it needs to create its products, transport them to the production facilities and ship the finished goods to the retail outlets or end user of the product.

Every stage of that process involves professional skills that are critical to success, from marketing and logistics to data management and warehousing.
